Episode 4

Bo Tong is talking to Ma Te about his marriage and says she's going to become a ghost ending then he says she'll be successful(a play on words). She tells him she's going to sell the socks at Home Shopping network since she knows someone who works there, he thinks she's crazy and even more for believing some weird guy. Bo Tong says she remembers some guy convinced her to do a close out sale a few days ago. Ooh! Ouch! Ma Te says that David has ulterior motives for helping her despite her looks. Ma Te wants to meet David now.
Bo Tong meets David and asks is he sure they can sell the socks as cleaning products, he seems confident and says they just need the materials. Bo Tong tells him she needs to ask Ma Te since he's very busy. David says that out of the busy men, 90% of them are bad. Bo Tong says no, her oppa is just pretty. David jokes then that makes it 100%. She wants them to meet and David agrees. Ma Te is a little frustrated that he has to see Electric Fairy, mainly because she's seen his face so now he needs to do something new. Cue to him walking into her place and all the women literally gasp at the sight of him. He's glowing all with a new haircut. The employees give him a buzzer while staring at him. He says he doesn't need a buzzer, but when they tell her she's got a visitor she instructs them to tell him to wait 2 hours until she's finished. She hands him a buzzer without taking her eyes off of him. Her turns around and all the women are staring at him. Later, he wakes up to find himself leaning on a woman's shoulder while she's stroking his face. She tells him to call her aunt. He goes in and sees Electric Fairy and she notes that the wedding was cancelled, he blames her for that happening. Ma Te tells her she's a fake and things she says don't make sense. He asks her if it's fun, she counters that and wonders if Yu Ra told him this and he's immature as a result. Ma Te cuts to the chase, he doesn't care of she's real or not, he just wants to learn from her. While he's speaking, she starts looking at his face in sections, admiring it. Uh-oh, looks like she's fallen. She snaps herself out of it and tells him his 3 minute consultation is up and that will cost him $500, but says since Jaek Hee broke up with him then he has no one to get money from so he should go. She calls in the next customer then fans herself after he's gone.
Afterwards, Ma Te meets with Yu Ra who asks how it went. He wonders if she really is fake because she seems real for Jaek Hee to totally depend on her. Yu Ra thinks back to Electric Fairy's warning then appears upset and repeats that she's a fake and uses a person's mentality to pretend. Ma Te asks why she's getting so angry and says that even then she's not going to be an easy person to crack. Yu Ra knows that she won't just tell him her secret. He figures if he doesn't win her heart then she won't budge, Yu Ra says that isn't the point. She an Electric Woman and he's Dokgo Ma Te. Yu Ra asks about the socks and before he can answer, Bo Tong calls him to meet her. Bo Tong and Ma Te walk into the Home Shopping building to meet David. He is offended when Bo Tong says that everyone she spoke to said the socks were out of style, but is reminded that he had said that too. He casually says that if you nurture money well then it will grow. She's amazed that he said that, but he walks away. She gestures like she's going to hit him until he catches it and she acts like she's giving him something by handing him a notebook with suits that will look good on him for his upcoming wedding. She's delighted to find out that it was cancelled.
David shows up and asks Bo Tong if she's eaten, she says just ramyun and he says she should be eating rice. As they're laughing, it bothers Ma Te and he clears throat to make his presence known. As they're shaking hands it's very obvious both are jealous over the other one.
David and Bo Tong have an entire routine to show how the good the socks are at cleaning. They really are the same person. Hahaha. David burns his foot trying to clean up coffee with his foot. He sets his foot in ice water and Ma Te doesn't wait to insult. He says that they should go for Gag Concert, but David counters that he doesn't have any ideas so how is he going to run a business. David says it's a waste and says naivete when Ma Te asks what. Bo Tong comes in with more ice and is told she needs to fax him the business contract and have a to get a credit evaluation. Bo Tong says they don't have have it so it's not possible. Ma Te leaves upset that Bo Tong didn't look into these things. Well you certainly weren't trying. Bo Tong asks if it really isn't possible and he repeats Ma Te's words that he's just a lowly md with no real power. She leaves looking dejected and walks out to see that Ma Te is leaving her. David sees and offers her a ride.
In his car, Ma Te says he should have never trusted Bo Tong and that David will always be an office worker. Says the unemployed gold digger, nice. David and Bo Tong pull up to the light next to Ma Te but don't notice him. He sees them talking and then turns.
Yu Ra mets Moon Soo at the Droptop Cafe and she says Hong Ran won't be happy knowing he's meeting with her. He asks if she's okay and if she'd like to manage the cafe they're in. She doesn't want to, but he reassures her that it's not bought through MG Group, but through the previous owner. She still doesn't want to because Hong Ran will make things worse, but Moon Soo insists saying his father bought it for her so she can have a stable life. Hmm So Mommy Dearest orchestrated the entire divorce. It's clear Moon Soo stil loves her.
In the car, Bo Tong is upset over the sock issue and worries that Ma Te will get wrinkles from worrying so much. David takes the blame saying he should have checked, but he thought they already had that prepared. He then gets an idea and says they can always sell the socks under an existing subcontract. Bo Tong wonders why he's just now saying this and he replies that he just thought of it. Unfortunately, they're turned down by everyone but one. The man says that he is hesitant because he heard David may get fired. This alarms Bo Tong, but he assures her it's not happening.
Electric Fairy is in her lair when two of her employees come in to ask if they can get off and she says yes. Before they leave she wonders if there any male callers and she's disappointed there weren't any. The women go outside to leave and say how they feel bad for her since she doesn't date and must be lonely. Then one says who would want to date her. She comes outside for air when she spots Ma Te posing in the rain waiting for her. He asks if she could teach him her methods for reading minds she says that she's a shaman and there are no methods. She speaks with the gods, so he notes that since she's real then there isn't anything to teach. He then asks her if she can let him go on like this. Pfft! She simply tells him to buy some cold medicine on his way home and goes back in. Ha! Turns out he's been there for 2 hours. Really? Electric Fairy is trying to read, but is distracted by the image of Ma Te in the rain. We then see a flashback of her meeting with Hong Ran who asks her to remove Ma Te from Yu Ra's side with a nice compensation in exchange.
Ma Te got sick and then regrets not buying the medicine. He calls his blonde friend who is too busy clubbing with women to come by.
Bo Tong is with David and is very apologetic because she has put him through a lot. Then it seems ike they have another idea when she calls Ma Te to tell him. She asks him if he's sick since he sounds like he has a fever, he says yes and hangs up. Bo Tong asks David to take her by a store to pick up some medicine. To her surprise, he's still waiting outside and drops her off at Ma Te's. She makes him porridge and nearly burns him when she feeds him. He looks like a big ol' baby. As he sleeps, she's staring at him asking herself how can he be this beautiful. She ends up missing the last bus so she finds a spa to sleep at. Bo Tong is worried that she won't be sleep since she's sensitive, but ends up knocking out fast. We then see a woman steal her watch, from the surveillance, she knows her clothes and wallet were also stolen. The security guard can't do much but give her the video so she can go to the police. He suggests she call someone, she doesn't call Ma Te since he's sick. She ends up scolding her finger for finding David's number and calling him. Next thing we see him laughing at her in the car. He brought her his smallest size clothes since the stores weren't open yet. She mumbles "this isn't how you wear your boyfriend". He then offers a place for her to stay at for a while saying it will be cheap. She says she'll think about it and come by after she changed.
Ma Te paces back and forth thinking of ways to break Electric Fairy's shell when he goes to her place and literally pulls her out of a session. He announces the place is closed right and drags her outside. She's upset saying those people made appointments and need help, he wonders why she's so concerned about others while making herself miserable. He tells her to have fun for a day, she's been cooped up in that place for 3 years. She gets in the car and even while they're walking, she's cold and shuts him down every time. He picks her up so she can dunk a basketball and she's freaked out. Ma Te gets a call from her alarmed staff. Turns out someone messed up her parents' food cart and they're shaken. Her parents are mute and Ma Te has a hard time communicating. After he drops them off at home, her parents tell her to invite him in for dinner. she doesn't want to, but he feigns hunger pangs and they escort him inside. Her mother wonders if the food is to his taste, but she says don't worry about him. Ma Te says it's good. Miss Fairy asks her parents why they were out there like that, isn't the money she sends them enough? They defend themselves saying that it's not about money, they give their food out for free to passersby and the elderly. The people love their dubbokki. She says that she didn't know if anything happened to them. Mom worries if her friend aka Ma Te is feeling awkward since he doesn't know sign language. They motion for him to keep eating and then ask if he's her boyfriend since he's good looking. She's quick to deny it and she lies saying they want him to eat and leave, He knows it's a lie since they're smiling at him. As he picks up an egg, he gets emotional saying that he hasn't had home cooked food in a while and it reminds him of his mother.
When Ma Te drops Electric Fairy off, she's thankful but tells him he can stop trying so hard. He forgets she can read people and says to get rid of Yu Ra in his eyes. He pulls her face closer to his and asks if she can really see Yu Ra there. It catches her off guard, but she manages to keep her composure until he leaves. Moon Soo is in his office when Hong Ran comes in and asks why he gave Yu Ra a cafe in a golden area. He lies and says that he wanted to show off his power before she kicks him out since he's not sure when that will be. This is after he acknowledges her hand in their divorce. His smile fades as she leaves. We see her looking uneasy and asks her assistant to look into a place for Sool Ri to study abroad. He looks uneasy about this, but complies. She then calls Yu Ra to tell her the news. Yu Ra says she's only 6, but Hong Ran doesn't care. Yu Ra is shaken after that.

Bo Tong is at David's house to give him galbi from her place and has a second tub for Ma Te. Ma Te is shocked to see Yu Ra outside the door and sees she's crying. He asks what's wrong, he catches her as she falls. Bo Tong is heading to give him the galbi and sees him holding Yu Ra.
David shows up and asks Bo Tong if she's eaten, she says just ramyun and he says she should be eating rice. As they're laughing, it bothers Ma Te and he clears throat to make his presence known. As they're shaking hands it's very obvious both are jealous over the other one.
